Bryan Bresee and Myles Murphy were key parts of Clemson's highly touted 2020 recruiting class. They showed why Saturday. The two freshmen and future cornerstones of the Tigers' defense shined in their first college games as Clemson defeated Wake Forest 37-13. Bresee, a defensive tackle who was ranked as the nation's top recruit, showed both the nerves of a freshman and his playmaking ability in Clemson's first series. He jumped offsides on the third play but had a half-sack of Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman two plays later. Bresee also blocked a kick and finished with two tackles, one for loss. "Like a big puppy dog, Labrador letting him outside for the first time and bring him home for the first time and he is wetting himself all over the place," Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. "Offside on the first series. Classic. But he has done well. Older guys, they are excited about him. Bryan did the same things tonight since he has gotten here last spring." - The State

Murphy, a defensive end the No. 7 prospect in the country, led the team with seven tackles - three of those for loss - and two sacks. He was the first Clemson true freshman to record multiple sacks in a game since Dexter Lawrence against Virginia Tech in the 2016 ACC Championship. "Bresee and Myles Murphy showed up pretty quick and I expected that," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. There have been high expectations for Bresee and Murphy since they arrived on campus in January. The two were part of the 2020 Tigers' recruiting class ranked No. 3 by 247Sports Composite and one that Swinney called a "special group" on early signing day back in December. - The State

Trevor Lawrence threw for 351 yards and combined for three touchdowns, and No. 1 Clemson continued its domination of Wake Forest with a 37-13 victory on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. Trevor Etienne ran for 102 yards and a touchdown for Clemson, which improved to 70-5 since the start of the 2015 season under coach Dabo Swinney. Clemson has now outscored Wake Forest 152-19 over the last three seasons, holding the Demon Deacons to just one touchdown. Clemson is looking to win its sixth straight Atlantic Coast Conference title and reach the College Football Playoff national championship game for the fifth time in the six seasons. The last time the Tigers were on the field they lost 42-25 loss to LSU in which Lawrence was held without a touchdown pass. But the Heisman Trophy hopeful looked in solid form against the Demon Deacons. After going three-and-out on its first drive, Clemson scored on its next three possessions, including a pair of short walk-in touchdowns by Lawrence to take a 17-0 lead. On both occasions, the Demon Deacons sold out on the fake handoff to Etienne, allowing Lawrence a free path to the end zone. Lawrence's passes were on the mark for the most part, as he completed 22 of 28 passes. He spread the ball around to eight different receivers in the first half alone as Clemson took a 27-0 lead. - Clemson/AP College Football

09/09/20 - Justyn Ross, rSr/2022, Clemson, 6-4, 210 (DS#35 WR) + More +

For this week's game, the only players who have officially been ruled out are defensive end Xavier Thomas, receiver Justyn Ross and tight end Luke Price. Clemson is hoping to get Thomas back for a portion of this season after he battled COVID-19 and strep throat this summer. Ross and Price are both out for the year after suffering season-ending injuries. Starting defensive end Justin Foster and backup running back Lyn-J Dixon are among the other players who missed time during fall camp. Their status for this weekend has yet to be revealed. The loss of Foster for an extended period of time would be a big one for the Tigers as Thomas, Foster and Logan Rudolph split time starting at defensive end last season. Rudolph gave up football this offseason to focus on acting. "Justin has been here every day and is working hard and getting better," Swinney said last week. "He has been limited but hopefully he's making some good progress and will be with us here soon." - The State

Clemson will be without a player in 2020 who played in all 15 games last season. Tigers coach Dabo Swinney announced following Thursday's practice that tight end Luke Price is out for the season with a torn ACL. Price was injured during a scrimmage last month. The redshirt junior caught four passes for 41 yards last season. He also contributed on special teams. Price transitioned from linebacker to tight end during the 2019 offseason. - The State

09/04/20 - Braden Galloway, Sr/2022, Clemson, 6-4, 239 (DS#19 TE) + More +

Clemson tight end Braden Galloway insists that assistant coach Danny Pearman's use of the n-word during a 2017 practice is not indicative of the type of person Pearman is. Galloway, speaking after Tuesday's practice, said he was already aware of the incident involving Pearman and former tight end D.J. Greenlee before it was brought to light this summer. Greenlee told The State in June that Pearman used the word in a heated practice discussion moments after Greenlee first used the word. "He was repeating what I just said. He's like, 'n-word this, n-word that," Greenlee recalled. Pearman issued an apology this summer, saying, "What I overheard, I had no right to repeat." Galloway spoke with reporters Tuesday, becoming the first tight end to speak with the media since the incident made national headlines this summer. Galloway said he forgave Pearman for the incident and holds no ill will toward him.

"Obviously there are things going on in this world today that just aren't right, and some people, it's hard to really get through their minds, trying to explain to them and they're just not understanding. And coach Pearman's not one of those people," said Galloway, a junior. "He's very empathetic and very sympathetic about how we feel. He's talked to specifically me and Jaelyn (Lay) because we're the only African-American tight ends, and just made sure that everything was clear. "I've been here three years. I know what kind of guy he is. I know what kind of person he is...I'm happy he's my coach." - The State

A former NFL general manager believes if Lawrence ends up with the Jaguars, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney could join him. Former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum said on ESPN's "Get Up!" TV show Monday morning that Swinney joining Lawrence in Jacksonville is "the perfect situation." "There's a lot of speculation in the league that Dabo Swinney, who has been on the short list of multiple head coaching searches, could be a coach that teams want to talk about. And this would really be the perfect storm," Tannenbaum said. Swinney was asked in 2018 if he would be interested in coaching in the NFL and replied "never say never."

"I've never really thought much about it. Nobody's really ever called me and said, 'Hey, do you want to come coach this NFL team?' I've never really put much thought into it," Swinney said at the time. "I've always just been so focused on what I'm doing. I guess you never say never." Swinney signed a 10-year, $93 million deal with Clemson in April of 2019. Swinney's deal includes a buyout if he leaves for a college coaching job, but there is no buyout if he leaves to take an NFL job. - The State

A new study released by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that less than 7% of the revenue generated by National Collegiate Athletic Association - more than $8 billion annually - finds its way to football and men's basketball players through scholarships and living stipends. "Intercollegiate amateur athletics in the U.S. largely bars student-athletes from sharing in any of the profits generated by their participation, which creates substantial economic rents for universities," the National Bureau of Economic Research study states. The top NCAA Division 1 schools earn approximately $8.5 billion in annual revenue, with 58% percent of that revenue coming directly from men's football and men's basketball programs. The two highest-paid football positions (starting quarterback and wide receiver) would earn $2.4 and $1.3 million, respectively, and starting basketball players would be paid between $800,000 and $1.2 million per year. - Forbes.com
